Abstract
Both nationally and internationally, there is a growing interest in decision-support tools to assist decision makers in defining optimal combinations of abatement measures concerning a wide range of pollutants and their adverse effects. The importance given to cost-effectiveness and optimization has increased as the size of the investments needed to reduce environmental deterioration has been realized. Usually, each abatement measure influences the emissions of a number of pollutants, and some components are closely related in terms of abatement measures. This fact requires that different pollutants and abatement measures are considered as far as possible in an integrated way.
